Very pricey for this old place.
Pros:

Good location to the small town’s businesses . Great view from our room on the west side of the beach and ocean but many other rooms have no view. Shower worked well. Good tv.

Cons:

No elevator. Staircases are old and hand rails are dangerous as you cannot slide your hand entirely down or up the rail because a portion of the rail is embedded into the adjacent wall. Had to use a portable space heater to heat the room. The selection for the breakfast was skimpy with just 1 fruit offered and choice of a croissant or a ball of scrambled eggs mixed with various vegetables. No coffee maker in the room. Would not recommend staying here if you have mobility issues.

Nice experience but could have been a little better.
Pros:

Friendly staff. Nice view for breakfast, nice touch with the pie and ice cream hour. Location is amazing!

Cons:

Very dated, needs new furniture, drapes, linens (pillows). I used to have the same throw pillows from over 20 years ago. First room had damp smell.and the toilet was running all night, they accommodated me with a different larger room and were very apologetic. Door locks are traditional key locks and can be very difficult to open.

Great place to stay in Avila Beach
Pros:

Great location. Old inn vibes. Superb hospitality. Love the pie and ice cream in the evening. Sun deck with great views and relaxing atmosphere. Great shower!!! Lovely breakfast

Cons:

No elevator. Few outlets close to bed for CPAP use. Mirror above sink in bathroom set super low, thankful for the second mirror above the toilet. Would like to see a full length mirror in the room

Wonderful sundeck oceanview with a great breakfast and coffee bar all included in our stay!
Pros:

We love the Rooftop coffee house, I believe it's called Joe Mamma's . The food is excellent. The quiche and the croissants are wonderful and the latte's, coffee, etc. are delicious! It's a perfect breakfast and frankly the hightlight of staying there. Another added perk is the pie and ice cream served in the evening. These offerings make the stay there and we would not stay there again if it weren't for these perks. While we didn't use them, there are bikes, chairs and towels for the beach provided as well.

Cons:

The bathroom had mold on the caulking of the tub. Not good! We understand the Inn is old and it is a charming place to stay but it needs to be kept clean and the caulking needs repairing and also the baseboard moulding in the bathroom needs to be cleaned thoroughly, not just the tub shower and toilet. It's unsightly and mold is dangerous. They need to replace their towels! They are dingy, and worn. Bad presentation. The rooms need refurbishing. The TV kept cutting out throughout the early morning and evening. We used our Ipad to watch a movie on youtube instead.

Everything went perfectly. The room had a beautiful view and comfy bed.
Pros:

Breakfast on the roof was amazing and hit the spot every morning. The pie alamode in the evening was a pleasant surprise!

Cons:

Our room could have used a small table with 2 chairs for sitting to play games or write postcards.
